Dream Honeymoon Thanks To Secret Namibia
Our honeymoon in Namibia was a dream come true, thanks to Secret Namibia. Everything was flawlessly planned, from the smooth transfers between our lodges to the personalized suggestions for the best activities. Johan ensured we had a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, whether it was exploring the dunes or unwinding in the peaceful, romantic settings. The communication throughout was exceptional, making us feel completely at ease. After all the wedding events we really needed to just switch off and the whole trip was awesome- better than we could have imagined. We’re already discussing returning for our anniversary as we've heard about a combined safari they offer that includes a visit to Vic falls. We’ll definitely be booking with Secret Namibia again! Huge Thanks.

Watching the 'Heavenly River Crossing' four times in one day.
We went on a 7-day, 6-night safari in early October and saw the 'Heavenly River Crossing' four times in one day. Serengeti Smile was definitely the best choice. Our consultant was Flora, who was very patient and answered all of our questions. Every accommodation she chose for us was incredibly cost-effective, and the route was 100% reasonable. Our guide was also amazing, able to predict the animals' behaviors in advance, so we easily saw the Big Five and everything we hoped to see. I will come back next year and choose Serengeti Smile again.

A very professional and well-run business, with excellent guides and vehicles
As wildlife photographers we wanted a private customised trip to the Masai Mara. I contacted 4 companies in Kenya for our safari and while all answered, most were only interested in selling their standard packages. Chris from Sunup Adventures repeatedly came back to me with ideas and took the time to understand what we wanted. The lodge he found us was perfect for our needs. The standard of their vehicles is very high and John the guide was excellent in positioning the vehicle for the correct photographic light.
We have no problem in recommending them to prospective travellers, and will be using them again in the future

Amazing tour with guide James Jichina
This tour was amazing for us, starting with the very good communication with Silas via Whatsapp to organize and then with James Jichina, our very skilled and caring guide. With him we saw the big 5 and lots of other animals, especially lions in action (trying to hunt, eating and mating). Enkorok Camp was beautiful, the accomodation is clean and comfortable and we had a very good time in this safari. I 100% recommend Safari Update Travels and James Jichina!

This is five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ trip for us
Me and my friend had an amazing 6-day safari with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris—they are truly the best!
From the start, Serengeti Wildlife Safaris stood out. They were the first to reply to our email, and Varaline was exceptional in handling all our queries. Her prompt and friendly responses made planning the trip so smooth. The itinerary covered the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and even a Kilimanjaro day trip! Varaline ensured everything was well-organized and exactly what we wanted.
Our guide, Richard, made the safari unforgettable. He wasn’t just a professional guide but also an animal expert, skilled driver, and excellent photographer. During our trip, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including the Big Five! In Ngorongoro, we spotted lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos all in one day. In the Serengeti, we witnessed a lion pride feasting on a buffalo, and Richard shared fascinating details about their hunting techniques. We also saw cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, hippos, and even crocodiles in Lake Manyara. The birdlife was equally breathtaking with flamingos, eagles, and colorful starlings.
Our day trip to Kilimanjaro was the perfect way to wrap up the adventure, giving us a glimpse of the majestic mountain.
In conclusion, Serengeti Wildlife Safaris exceeded all our expectations. Varaline and Richard made this a trip of a lifetime. If you're looking for the best safari experience in Tanzania, I highly recommend them!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
We recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime safari across East Africa, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our goal was to combine different countries and wildlife experiences, and Kubwa Five offered the perfect variety of combinations.
From the very beginning, the team's commitment to providing excellent service was clear. They were incredibly organized and attentive, giving us all the necessary information well in advance of our trip. In fact, they stayed in touch with us throughout the planning stages and even followed up on our flights and all other details before arrival, which helped to ensure everything went smoothly.
Our adventure began in the breathtaking landscapes of Rwanda and Uganda, where we were fortunate to be guided by Smith.
He was incredibly approachable, always happy to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the local life connecting with us on both personal and educational levels.
What impressed us most was his dedication to ensuring we experienced everything possible, always striving to help us see all the sights and fully immerse ourselves in every moment, making him a true highlight of our trip.
Our trip continued to Kenya, an extraordinary experience, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Godfrey. His deep knowledge of the landscape and sharp observation skills gave us the best chance to witness rare and breathtaking wildlife encounters.
His ability to read the behavior of the animals made the experience even more memorable. He was always willing to wait for the ideal moment, making sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible wildlife action.
The last part of our safari took us to Tanzania, where we were greeted by our incredible guide, Alfa! From the moment we met him, it was clear that Alfa was a safari expert, and his knowledge of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was unparalleled. He knew the areas like the back of his hand and was able to locate wildlife with ease—spotting animals before other safari vehicles, which gave us an incredible advantage.
He could predict their movements and always positioned us perfectly for the best views. His sharp eye allowed us to see the Big 5, encounters that we might have missed otherwise… While luck plays a role in a safari, it’s the expertise of a guide like Alfa that truly makes all the difference.
We’ll always remember his unwavering enthusiasm, even after countless game drives over the years.
His desire to help us understand the animal kingdom, the culture and the places we visited enriched our experience and gave us a deeper connection to everything we saw.
While all the guides we had throughout our trip truly represented the company at its best, we were also impressed by how the company maintained constant communication with our guides ensuring that everything ran flawlessly.
This attention to detail made us feel reassured and well-supported from start to finish. It was clear that our experience was a top priority, and we genuinely felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire adventure.
If you’re looking for a safari experience that’s not only well-organized but also enriched by passionate, knowledgeable guides who truly care about the wildlife and cultures they show you, we cannot recommend Kubwa Five enough.
